We looked for good value hotels in Niagara Falls, which boils down to clean affordable rooms, well-maintained properties and good customer service. In our quest for value, the cheaper hotels made it to the top of the list, but this does not mean they are better hotels than the hotels further down the list.

This hotel is a great choice for value in Niagara Falls with its newly renovated rooms, some even with views of the Falls from the higher floors and balconies. Guests loved the location, a 5-minute walk to the Falls lookout area and walking distance to restaurants and attractions.

The hotel offers rooms in a 2-storey walk-up section and a 7-storey tower with elevator. Guests found the rooms very clean, spacious and comfortable. All rooms have flat screen TVs, hardwood floors and some offer great-looking double jacuzzis and a fireplace. There is a well liked indoor pool and hot tub on site.

Adding value are the very rare offering (for this area) of free parking, along with good free Wi-Fi and a generously supplied hot breakfast.

The Rodeway Inn no longer offers falls views as there are towers more recently built that obscure any view you could have had from their top floor, but this fact does not deter guests from enjoying this small hotel. The fact remains that the location is still great, walking distance to the attractions and restaurants of the area, not to mention the Falls themselves!

Guests found the rooms dated, but well cleaned and comfortable, supplying the basics well with friendly staff and they loved getting a cheap hot breakfast on site at Tattle’s and great pizza at Zappi’s.

The Wi-Fi is not that great in the rooms, but it works well in the lobby, I’m told, and comes free of charge along with local calls. Parking is an extra $10 per night.

This cute little motel offers a pleasant budget stay. It is competively priced and has updated rooms with very good free Wi-Fi and free parking. Guests enjoy the drive-up style rooms with modern amenities--a flat screen TV, cable channels, a tea kettle, a mini-fridge, a microwave, a tub and shower combination, plus wood and tile floors. Nice and clean. There is a breakfast restaurant next door, I hear and the WeGo bus stop is right outside the motel which will bring you to Clifton Hill in 10 minutes. Guests will find a 'Timmies', groceries and restaurants just down the street, about a 7-minute walk.

Location convenient to shopping and restaurants on foot and the Falls by car

This hotel offers some great views of the southern end of the Horseshoe Falls, but only from the higher floors of its tower (as it peeks around the Marriott which blocks most of its views). However, be aware that not all rooms offered by this hotel were well liked by guests. In particular, guests mentioned that there are some older rooms on the property which are in need of better upkeep. On the positive side though, the location is well liked, being an easy walk to the Falls lookout promenade with restaurants and shops nearby. In addition to your nightly rate, this hotel also currently charges a resort fee of 4% and $20 per day for parking.

Family-friendly Niagara Falls hotel on Lundy's Lane with popular waterpark and Irish pub

You can’t go wrong with this hotel, especially if you like Irish pubs! Doc Magilligan’s is on site and a destination in and of itself--an authentic Irish pub (built in Ireland) with Irish beer, hearty fare and a live band on the weekend.

This hotel is a good place to bring children while sticking to your budget, as it has reasonably-priced rooms and a great indoor pool area well suited to young families, where the adults can enjoy the tropical courtyard and lunch overlooking the pool while the kids splash around at the children’s play park. A games room with arcades and supervised children’s activities add to the fun.

This is the place to stay if you want to be right on Clifton Hill amid the fair-style attractions and restaurants. There is an outdoor pool to enjoy the summer weather and guests will find a mini-fridge and microwave in all rooms to help save on dining out costs.

Adding value to your stay are a free basic breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free local calls. Parking is $10 per night.

This is a guest favourite. It has great views not only from the well-appointed rooms but many of its public spaces so guests can get a non-fallsview room and still enjoy beautiful views of the Falls from the restaurant, indoor and outdoor pools and day spa. It’s also a great place from which to see the fireworks.

The location is tops--the Falls a block away, and so close to various entertainment options, the waterpark and the restaurants and attractions of Clifton Hill. There’s also great dining on site with views of the Falls.

Self-parking is $29 and valet is $45 per night. Wi-Fi is included in the mandatory resort fee of $15.95 per day.

Tips For Staying In Niagara Falls

Choosing A Hotel in Niagara Falls

Quick Summary of Most Popular AreasFallsview: top choice for those wanting to be near or have a view of the fallsClifton Hill: high traffic entertainment area where most other attractions can be foundLundy's Lane: discount and outlet shopping area, away from the falls area

Where to Stay in Niagara FallsResearching Niagara Falls hotels can be tricky for a first time visitor, so it's important to determine what your specific needs include. If you really want to stay near the famous horseshoe falls, you'll want to look for hotels in the Fallsview district, however keep in mind you may be paying a premium for the location. If a fun-filled or family-oriented stay is what you're after I would suggest hotels near Clifton Hill, which have numerous attractions within walking distance including many restaurants, specialty shops and the giant Niagara SkyWheel, which provides riders with a breathtaking view 175 feet above Niagara Falls. Alternatively if shopping and fashion outlet stores are your fix, hotels on Lundy's Lane may be a better (and cheaper) option.

Visitors in search of the gambling scene Niagara Falls has become famous for should have a look at Fallsview Casino or Casino Niagara. These hotels are your best option to be close to the most popular casinos as well as the opportunity to get a room with a view of the falls. In addition, many of these hotels offer VIP services and package deals which include parking vouchers, concert & entertainment bookings and access to many high-end restaurants and lounges.

Surrounding AreaTravelers looking for a more relaxed stay, away from the bustle of Niagara Falls, would enjoy the quaint and historic town of Niagara-On-The-Lake. Located in the Niagara Wine Region, these are great places to explore the breeding grounds of the world-class wines the region is known for. If winery-hopping is an appealing activity, be sure that you travel by car or arrange for an organized tour, as the vineyards are spread out over a fairly large geographic footprint.
